Inter Miami vs Necaxa: Leagues Cup Prediction (02.08.2025)

On August 2, 2025, at 01:00 CET, the Leagues Cup match between Inter Miami and Necaxa will take place. The Florida-based club will host the Mexican side at home and is considered the clear favorite in this encounter, according to the odds set by bookmakers. Let’s take a look at the current form of both teams and provide our prediction for the match.

Inter Miami

The “Herons” have recently shown solid form. Since the Club World Cup, the team has lost only 1 of their last 7 games. Lionel Messi is in excellent shape. The Argentine has played 18 MLS matches this season, scoring 18 goals and providing 10 assists. Across all competitions, he has recorded 24 goals and 12 assists in 30 appearances. The only question is whether he will start the next match. Recently, there have been rumors about fatigue complaints not only from Messi but also from Suárez, one of the team’s main assist providers. It’s worth noting that in their first Leagues Cup match, Inter Miami played against Mexican side Atlas and won 2–1, although not without difficulty.

Necaxa

In Mexico, the Apertura (fall phase of the season) has just begun. So far, Necaxa has looked fairly average. In the first three rounds, they recorded one win, one loss, and one draw. In the Clausura tournament that ended last spring (the winter-spring phase), the team finished in fifth place but was knocked out in the first round of the playoffs. As a result, Fernando Gago’s side isn’t expected to deliver extraordinary results, but they are seen as a solid mid-table team. With no inflated expectations, the players are not under much pressure. Moreover, the newly appointed Argentine coach earned a good reputation at his previous club, Boca Juniors.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

There are no head-to-head statistics. This will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams.

Prediction

In the Inter Miami vs Necaxa match, our prediction favors the home team. Inter Miami has the support of the home crowd and a more star-studded squad. The “Herons” have the edge in individual skill and technique. The visitors, meanwhile, are still in a rebuilding phase under a new coach, which may result in a lack of cohesion. Therefore, we suggest betting on an Inter Miami win at odds of 1.58.
